Reversal of Hartmann's procedure: a single-centre experience of 533 consecutive cases.
2018
AIM Hartmann's procedure (HP) is common. However, restoration of intestinal continuity is not so frequent. The aim of this study was to determine predictive factors which might influence outcomes following the reversal of HP. METHOD All consecutive patients who underwent elective and emergency HP in a single institution between January 1999 and December 2014 were included. Data concerning patient, disease and treatment features were collected. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models were used to determine prognostic factors. RESULTS A total of 533 consecutive patients underwent HP over the 16-year period. Factors that were associated with a higher probability of revers…
Evolving Risk Factors for Mortality after Lung Transplantation over the Last 10 Years: Insights from a Single-Centre Database
2016
s S233 218 (82%) patients received pooled platelet transfusion -median (IQR) 1(1-2) U. 209 (79%) and 129 (49%) patients received fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and cryoprecipitate with a median (IQR) of 3(2-4) and 0(0-0) U respectively. Conclusion: Rate and volume of transfusion of blood products compare favourably with centres performing surgery off CPB or on ECMO. Requirement for ECMO particularly for BTT, but also PGD is associated with high transfusion requirements.
Chronic Total Coronary Artery Occlusion Recanalisation with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention — Single Centre 10-Year Experience
2018
Abstract Coronary artery chronic total occlusions (CTO) are common — approximately one-third of patients with significant coronary artery disease on angiography have at least 1 CTO. Invasive treatment of these lesions still remain a major challenge for interventional cardiology due to their complexity. Historically, success rates have improved to about 60–70% by using only the traditional antegrade approach. The results have dramatically improved during the last decade after more widespread application of new retrograde techniques. The aim of our study was to review and analyse single hospital experience in CTO invasive treatment and to evaluate the long-term results. A total of 519 patient…
